Chapter 282 The Old and Young Men of the Safflower Club (Part 1)
Liuhe Pagoda is thirteen floors high. According to the Red Flower Club, each floor has its own leader. The Red Flower Club has a total of fourteen heads. Even including the helpers invited, the average is only one floor.
One or two people.
There is no greater merit than rescuing the driver. This is a good opportunity to make a contribution. He Shen's imperial bodyguards immediately became excited. Led by Bai Zhen, Fan Zhongen, a master of the judge's pen, Long Jun, a master of hidden weapons, Chu Yuan, a great swordsman, and more than ten people came out one after another.
They lined up, knelt down in a row, and asked He Shen to fight.
It's not that they are sure that they can defeat the enemy through thirteen levels in a row, but these people have a clear mind. The imperial court raises troops for a thousand days and uses them for a while. At this time, if they, the martial arts masters whom the imperial court spent a lot of money to support, don't come forward, no matter what the emperor will do afterwards.
They will never have a good life, life or death. Moreover, although the Red Flower Club claims to have fourteen leaders, a few of them are just ordinary people who can reach the third or fourth level. Even if they lose, there will be an explanation afterwards.
Just like raising a dog in a farmer's house, if the dog doesn't even bark when a thief comes, it will most likely be skinned and eaten afterwards. If it barks, even if the owner of the house steals everything, it is none of the dog's business.
Still a good dog.
"Would you like them to charge first so you can save some energy?" He Shen asked Su Yang.
"No need!" Su Yang still carried Wen Tailai with one hand and held He Shen's wrist with the other, and said with a smile: "Master He, how about I give you a great contribution from my brother?"
He Shen was stunned for a moment. Before he understood what was going on, he was already floating up. The wind was whistling in his ears, and the scenery on both sides was flying back. When he landed again, he had already reached the first floor of Liuhe Pagoda.
The first floor occupies the largest area. It has a square area of dozens of feet, which is enough for dozens of people to fight inside. After entering, Su Yang kicked the door shut. He lowered the gate from behind the door and separated the inside and outside of the tower.
Isolate.
He Shen secretly thought bitterly, if something goes wrong next time, he might really have to be loyal to the emperor.
On the first floor of the huge ** tower, there were more than 20 leaders of the Red Flower Club, standing around with swords and guns, leading to the entrance to the second floor. Standing there was a teenage boy, it was Shinyan.
"It turns out that Mr. Su is here! Xinyan is polite." Xinyan bowed.
Su Yang frowned slightly and said displeasedly: "Your chief helmsman is too cruel. Why are you afraid of your child coming?"
Xinyan looked at Wen Tailai on Su Yang's shoulder and He Shen standing next to him, shook his head and said with a smile: "Young Master misunderstood, my young master told me that if it is Young Master Su who comes, then this first floor is to welcome guests."
No fighting.”
He waved his hand, and the twenty or so little leaders of the Red Flower Club all around him stopped in front of Su Yang and formed a formation.
We welcome guests, but we just greet them with a sword formation.
Seeing Xinyan's eyes, Su Yang understood something about it. His arms shook. Wen Tailai and Heshen, one unconscious and the other frightened, flew towards Xinyan.
Xinyan jumped up in the direction of Wen Tailai. He held Wen Tailai with his hands, landed smoothly on the ground, and said thank you.
Heshen did not receive this kind of treatment. He fell to the ground and was chewed in the mud. Before he could get up, two small leaders of the Red Flower Society put knives on his neck.
"Young master, please take your leave, Xinyan!" Xinyan turned around and walked upstairs with Wen Tailai in his arms. The little leader who held Heshen hostage behind him followed him, holding Heshen with a knife.
As soon as Shinyan left, the Honghua swordsmen who were blocking Su Yang dispersed and stood guard around the first floor again. The first floor was passed.
Walking up the stairs to the second floor, the person blocking the entrance to the third floor was an acquaintance.
Yu Yutong.
When Yu Yutong saw that it was Su Yang, his face was a little embarrassed. He turned the golden flute in his hand, cupped his fists and said: "Last time we met, we couldn't fight with all our strength. It's a pity. I also know that I am not Brother Su's opponent, but
The chief helmsman has entrusted me with this, and I dare not make any mistakes, so please..."
He was talking nonstop about the scene, when suddenly his eyes blurred and a strong wind blew in his face.
When he saw it clearly, Su Yang was still standing there, as if he had not done anything, but there was a flute in his hand, which was the golden flute on which he became famous.
The rest of Yu Yutong's words immediately got stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter a single word. During the two meetings, the weapon was inexplicably snatched away by Su Yang without even making a single move. He didn't resist at all.
He was so powerful that he couldn't even see clearly how the other party took action.
Thinking of this, Yu Yutong felt sad and ashamed, wishing he could dive into the ground to gain strength.
He covered his face with his wide sleeves and without saying a word, waved his hand towards the entrance to the third floor as if he was trying to ward off a plague.
Su Yang walked towards the third floor, threw the flute on the ground, and said to himself: "Fighting requires stability and ruthlessness, why are you pulling so much useless stuff."
On the third floor of the guard is a pretty young woman, but she is Wen Tailai's wife, Yuanyangdao Luo Bing.
"Why, the female generals are also sent out?" Su Yang laughed.
Luo Bing waved his two swords in a heroic manner, but she had a smile on her face and said: "You are wrong, I am here to thank you. In any case, you saved my husband, and if I attack you, wouldn't I be repaying a favor with a grudge?"
, I don’t know what is good or bad anymore.”
"Wen Tailai is a man, and I am willing to save him without any need to thank him," Su Yang said.
Luo Bing smiled and said: "That is a matter between you men, but he is my husband. Whether you need it or not, I have to thank you. But I am the head of the Red Flower Club, and I have to obey the orders of the chief helmsman."
, this is quite difficult.”
"It doesn't matter, it's just a discussion between the rivers and lakes." Su Yang liked her straightforward temperament, and thought to himself that he didn't need to embarrass her too much, he would just rush to the fourth floor.
However, Luo Bing seemed to have read through Su Yang's thoughts. He stood in front of the stairs leading to the fourth floor and shook his head: "No, God knows your intentions. If you do it fake, even if the chief helmsman is not surprised, I know you know."
Heaven knows and earth knows, I also have a guilty conscience."
She sighed, flashed a hint of determination, and said: "After much thought, it is difficult to have both kindness and righteousness. There is only one way. I withdraw from the world. If I don't stick to this level, I will repay your kindness!"
After she finished speaking, she raised her hands, and a pair of mandarin duck knives flew out in her hands, and they were nailed to the floor with a trembling sound.
"From now on, there will no longer be a person like Yuanyangdao Luo Bing in the world!" She punched Su Yang and turned around to go up to the fourth floor without hesitation.
Looking at the two daggers on the ground, Su Yang secretly admired. There are so many strange women in the world.
The next four, fifth, and sixth floors were guarded by three strong men from the Red Flower Society, "Bronze-headed Crocodile" Jiang Sigen, "Shi Gandang" Zhang Jin, and "Iron Tower" Yang Chengxie.
Everyone has great strength and is known as the three golden steels of the Red Flower Society.
However, these three people were defeated before Su Yang even made a move. Su Yang almost tried his best to deal with these three people. This was not because he valued them too much, but because the weapons in their hands were all important. Weapons, if three or five of them were to fight together, the Liuhe Pagoda might be demolished. Su Yang didn't want to die in the hands of the enemy. Instead, he would be buried alive by the Liuhe Pagoda.
The guards on the seventh floor are a man and a woman. The man is the one who just showed up on the tower to shout, the seventh head of the Red Flower Club, Wu Zhuge and Xu Tianhong, and another little girl, dressed like a bride, it seems that she is Xu Tianhong's new wife. His wife is Zhou Qi, the only daughter of Zhou Zhongying in Tiedanzhuang.
As soon as Xu Tianhong saw Su Yang, he laughed and clasped his fists and said: "What a hero. What a man. How long has it been before? In less than a stick of incense, you have broken through six levels of our Red Flower Club, especially the brothers and sisters who have passed the previous few levels. They all admire Mr. Su's martial arts skills and praise him endlessly. Mr. Su is indeed a strange man in the martial arts world."
This Wu Zhuge has always been known for his wit. Su Yang didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he responded calmly: "You're welcome."
"This is really not polite." Xu Tianhong looked a little troubled and said: "Several of my brothers passed by my floor and they all said that with my martial arts skills, I am definitely no match for Mr. Su, even if the three of me are together. , Moreover, even Taoist Wuchen was defeated by the young master. Although we are all brothers in the Red Flower Club, in terms of seniority in the world, Taoist Wuchen is my elder..."
A smile appeared at the corner of Su Yang's mouth. He already understood what Wu Zhuge was going to say, and glanced at Zhou Qi with a half-smile.
Zhou Qi was glanced at by Su Yang, her face flushed red, she punched Xu Tianhong hard, and said angrily: "You are the mother-in-law, why are you talking about so much work, going around here and there, don't you just think twice?" Give me a fight!"
After scolding Xu Tianhong, she said to Su Yang carelessly: "Hey, let me tell you, your martial arts is very good. We, husband and wife, are not as good as you alone, so if we fight together, don't say we are cheating."
Zhou Qi is a pretty girl. Su Yang laughed loudly: "There is a husband and wife team in Liangshan Bo. Han Shizhong also has Liang Hongyu, who is not a man. It's not a scumbag if the husband and wife go into battle together. Let's do it."
"Guard, be careful!" Zhou Qi hit him as he was told. After a warning, he raised his hand and shot an iron lotus seed towards Su Yang's right leg. Xu Tianhong rolled his eyes and blocked Su Yang's retreat with a single sword. .
Su Yang shouted, "What a beautiful hidden weapon" and pretended to dodge, but quickly flicked the iron chain. The iron chain deflected and hit Xu Tianhong's single sword, making a hole in it. .
Zhou Qi and Xu Tianhong were both stunned, and saw that Su Yang had already rushed to the eighth floor.
Zhou Qi stomped his feet and said angrily: "It's all you who insisted on taking other people's back roads. It's okay now. He escaped. If you blocked the stairs, how could he get up there!"
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault." Xu Tianhong wasn't angry either. He picked up the iron chain from the corner and stuffed it into the bag on Zhou Qi's waist. He said with a smile: "Just go, but you are a hidden weapon." He is becoming more and more powerful, he can even punch a hole with his knife, and with this level of firepower, he can catch up with my father-in-law, Lao Taishan!"
After being coaxed by Xu Tianhong, the displeasure on Zhou Qi's face immediately disappeared, and he proudly said with a proud face: "Of course! You can tell me, even the guy named Su praised me for being good at using concealed weapons."
**The guards on the two floors are Guijianchou Shi Shuangying and Xi Chuan Shuangxia Hei Wuchang Hezhi and Bai Wu Chang Bozhi. They encountered another two against one. Xi Chuan Shuangxia's martial arts is not weak. In the Red Flower Club
Ranked fourth and fifth, they are all good at black sand palm. Compared with Su Yang, they can only lose three or five moves.
The Fleeting Time Palm is not comparable to the Black Sand Palm, and it is almost the same as Yang Guo's Sad Palm.
The guard on the tenth level is Thousand-Armed Tathagata Zhao Banshan, the master disciple of Wang Family Tai Chi in Wenzhou. He is not only good at Tai Chi, but also known by his nickname, he is a master of hidden weapons.
Zhao Banshan was in his fifties, with a chubby figure and a goatee. He smiled when he saw others. He looked more like a rich man than a martial artist. He said cheerfully to Su Yang: "You beat me all the way, and there are almost no
The enemy is defeated by one move. This level should have been defended by me and Brother Wuchen, but Brother Wuchen was once defeated by you. I couldn’t see you, so I was left alone to carry the tank. Follow me
I see, I am no match for you. There is no need to fight again."
He added: "But it's rare to meet a master like you. If I let it go, my old man would be really itchy. Look, we don't compete with fists and kicks, and we don't touch weapons. How about we spar with hidden weapons? No matter we win or lose, I won't stop you.
You go up."
Hidden weapons are a type of martial arts, but compared to other martial arts, hidden weapons require more skills. No matter how magical the swordsmanship is, or how advanced the internal strength is, it does not mean that you can use hidden weapons well, and you will still be smarter. Zhao Banshan's suggestion is to use your strengths and avoid weaknesses.
Su Yang was slightly stumped.
"How to compare? Attack each other?" Su Yang asked.
Zhao Banshan smiled and said: "Of course it's not a confrontation. Your internal strength is too high. Even if I see the hidden weapon you throw, I can't dodge it. Old man, I still want to live for two more years. Look here..."
He pointed to the wall on one side of the tower. There was a table in front of the wall. On the table were a pair of various hidden weapons. There were dozens of golden darts, sleeve arrows, iron shuttles, etc. Behind the table was a large
A candlestick with about thirty candles lit in three rows.
Su Yang asked unexpectedly: "Light up candles?"
The area of Liuhe Pagoda shrinks gradually. By the tenth floor, it is no different from an ordinary room. Even if you stand at the farthest distance from the candlestick, it is only three feet. It seems that you are not an expert at blowing out candles at this distance.
Zhao Banshan nodded and said: "It's about lighting candles. You and I each take five hidden weapons and see who can extinguish the most candles."
The five concealed weapons all hit the target and only extinguished five candles. Su Yang rolled his eyes and became confident, saying: "I'm not good at concealed weapons, so I'd better ask Mr. Zhao San first. I'll learn on the side and then do it."
"
Zhao Banshan was not polite, so he grabbed a handful on the table, spread his hand and handed it to Su Yang. What he saw in his hand were two iron beads, two sleeve arrows, and a money dart.
Exactly five.
He walked to the farthest corner of the tower and the wall farthest from the candlestick, pressed his back against the wall, and shouted: "You're showing off your humiliation!"
I didn't see him making any big moves. He shrugged his shoulders a few times, and then a few rays of black light came out of his hand. They split into two parts and flew straight to the candlestick. His arrows in his sleeves were the fastest, and he took the lead in extinguishing two candles and nailing them to the candlestick.
on the wall behind.
The two iron beads walked in an arc, drawing a semicircle on the left and right in the air, extinguishing two candles, and then hit the tail fin of the sleeve arrow nailed to the wall.
The sleeve arrow was three inches long. The iron ball bounced back when it hit it, and actually hit two candles. The two candles fell to the ground and were extinguished immediately.
The angle of the last money dart was even more tricky. It flew diagonally toward the candlestick, rubbed against an iron ball that bounced back, and changed its direction with a swish, almost sweeping across the candlestick sideways.
Two candles were extinguished and another one was knocked over before it fell to the ground.
In this way, the five hidden weapons extinguished nine candles in total.
The last hidden weapon fell to the ground. Zhao Banshan let out a long sigh and said with a smile: "It's a good risk. The old man hasn't done this kind of thing for seven or eight years, and he finally didn't miss it. This is also for the Red Flower Club."
I had to resort to this trick to save my face, but it made Mr. Su laugh."
Su Yang understood the meaning of his words. Although hidden weapons are focused on skills, in the final analysis they are also weapons used to kill and injure enemies. His hands just now were beautiful, but in actual combat, the power attached to each hidden weapon was
If it is not enough, it will be flashy and a waste of effort.
If there is a real battle between life and death, even if all five of his hidden weapons hit the opponent, they may not be able to kill the opponent. However, as long as one of the opponent's hidden weapons hits his vital part with inner strength, it can kill him.
"Although it is a fancy job, Master Zhao's skills are exquisite and rare. But I can't do it." Su Yang clasped his fists and smiled.
"Hehe, hehe, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed." Zhao Banshan waved his hand and pointed in the direction of the stairs: "Since we have an appointment in advance, sir, please go upstairs."
Su Yang shook his head and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, I haven't released the hidden weapon yet."
Zhao Banshan was stunned: "You want to fight too?"
"Of course, it's a competition. Of course, both sides have to take action." Su Yang said: "Although I don't have Master Zhao's magical skills, I have some brute strength."
"Brute force?" Zhao Banshan looked curious. He looked at Su Yang and then at the table, and suddenly smiled and said: "Young master, don't be a swindler. If you use the whole table as a hidden weapon and smash it over, the candlestick is not as big as the table.
Of course we win."
Su Yang smiled but did not answer. He walked to the table, picked up the heaviest iron beads, took five of them, and stood back where he was, full of confidence.
Zhao Banshan looked bewildered, thinking that he could save some face for the Red Flower Club, but could I have misjudged this young man, who knew all kinds of magic and was actually a master of hidden weapons?
Su Yang took a deep breath, even took off the wine gourd from his waist and took a big sip of wine. He held an iron bead in his right hand. He squinted his eyes and looked at the candlestick in front of him. He concentrated all his energy on his right hand and gave a low drink.
Take action suddenly!
Buzz! There was an almost deafening sound of wind in the room, and the iron beads flew towards the candlestick like a cannonball.
The sound was terrifying! But the accuracy was also very bad. The iron ball hit the wall half a foot away from the candlestick. The impact made a transparent hole in the blue brick wall. It flew out of the wall and went to nowhere.
Zhao Banshan was angry and funny at the same time, but he was finally relieved. Mr. Su was very skilled in emotions, but he didn't know anything about hidden weapons.
Not long after, I heard several shouts and curses coming from outside the tower, saying that the rebellious Red Flower Club came out to fight to the death, and that they secretly picked up rocks and hit people.
Zhao Banshan suppressed his laughter and said: "Young master, you'd better go upstairs. If we fight a few more times, the Qing soldiers will say that the Red Flower Club is just a bunch of kids fighting."
Su Yang ignored him and threw another iron bead. This time it still missed, but compared with the last time, it was closer to the candlestick, only three inches away.
The smile on Zhao Banshan's face gradually faded away. He could see clearly that Su Yang was not lighting candles at all, but the candle holder's support.
The bracket of the candlestick is made of iron. It is impossible for ordinary concealed weapons to break it, and the entire candlestick weighs hundreds of kilograms. Even if Zhao Banshan hits the bracket with an iron bead, it will only make the candlestick shake slightly, and it is impossible to insert it on it.
candle goes out.
But Su Yang was different. The power of the iron bead made Zhao Banshan feel a cold sweat running down his spine. This was not done by human hands. I'm afraid a musket was nothing more than that. The iron bead was compared to a musket.
The gun was ten times bigger. If it really hit the bracket, no one knew what would happen.
The third iron ball swished across the edge of the bracket and still made a hole in the wall. The scolding outside the tower became louder, as if another unlucky guy had his head smashed.
Zhao Banshan began to regret a little. He had been too confident just now. If he could keep two hidden weapons in his hands, he might be able to block Su Yang's iron beads. Even if he couldn't block them, he could still miss his aim. Now
But he could only watch helplessly, hoping that God would bless Honghuahui and never let him hit the candlestick. It would be better if he smashed the heads of several Qing soldiers.
One of the ten most unsatisfactory things in the world, when the fourth iron ball was released, a loud bang was heard. The iron ball hit the bracket of the candlestick heavily, throwing out a ball of sparks. The bracket suddenly broke, and the candlestick slowly
It tilted to one side and made an overwhelming squeaking sound.
With a bang, the entire candlestick finally collapsed, and most of the twenty or so candles remaining on it were extinguished.
Zhao Banshan felt that he was going to sigh all his life today: "I have conquered ten chapters with one effort. The old man has opened his eyes today. You are a great talent. I admire you!"
"Old man, put out the fire quickly." Su Yang laughed and rushed to the eleventh floor.
Liuhe Pagoda has a total of thirteen floors. Even if the last floor is for Qianlong to live in, there should be twelve floors in front of it that are guarded. Based on the number of heads of the Red Flower Society, this tenth floor is the third head of the house, and the second head of the house is unwilling
To come forward, the eleventh level is of course Chen Jialuo, the chief helmsman of the family.
But in front of them, there was an old couple, one tall and one short, one bald and the other white-haired. Behind them, lined up in a row, were four large black dogs half as tall as a man, dragging their tongues, looking fiercely, and purring.
With its low growl, it looked like it was not the kind of local dog used by ordinary farmers to guard their courtyards, but a hound that often fought with wild beasts in the mountains and forests.
Also a fierce dog.
Seeing these two people, Su Yang suddenly realized that no wonder Chen Jialuo was so brave that he dared to call the formation even though he knew he was coming. It turned out that it was these two people who had arrived.
The bald old man's name is Chen Zhengde, and the old woman is Guan Mingmei, the snow eagle, who is Chen Zhengde's wife. People in the world call them vultures and snow eagles, and they are collectively known as the Tianshan Double Eagles. There are several top masters in calligraphy and swordsmanship, except for Chen Jialuo's master, Tianchi weirdo Yuan Shixiao.
Besides, even this couple is a senior master from the previous generation.
When the Tianshan Twin Eagles saw Su Yang, their faces sank and looked unfriendly.
But in any case, these two people are much older after all. Su Yang laughed and said first: "It turns out that the two eagles have arrived."
Chen Zhengde had a straight face and snorted coldly: "Everyone can kill the imperial eagle and dog. With your skills as a three-legged cat, you are lucky enough to get here. Don't be complacent. Hum, this is where you will die." "
Guan Mingmei said in a cold voice: "What nonsense do you talk to this kind of person? Just kill him!"
She waved her hand and loosened the ropes of the four black dogs. Like four black lights, the four black dogs rushed towards Su Yang. (To be continued...)
